SUCCESS STORY

"I'd rather. have luck than brains !"

That's the way lovely little Teresa Wright
sums up her meteoric film career, in spite of
the loud chorus of fans and Hollywood ex-
perts who insist that her success story is due
to brains and ability at least as much as luck.

But there's no denying the fact that the
beautifuh star has been* blessed by Fate— at
least insofar as her roles are concerned.

just look over the record. While most 1 lolly-
wood stars have stories of long, hard struggles
to reach the top, little Teresa left the New
York stage for films and in her very first pic-
ture won nomination for the Aeadciriy .Award,
highest honor in movies! Just to prove that
the nomination was no fluke, she then calmly

* L ,

followed it up by walking off with an Oscar

for her second film, and added final proof by a
third successive nomination for her third film!

Teresa's story is one of those heartening
ones \%hich make us realize that every once
in a while success seems to be lying in wait
for 'Some ambitious newcomer, loaded down
with triumphs waiting to be poured out with
a lavish hand. As a verv voting girl who had
just . finished high school in Mnplcwood, New
Jersey, slie was one of the successful appli- .
cants for- the famed Wharf Theatre in Prov-
incetown, Mass., which was the first spring-
board for so many of the great names of the
theatre and films. In her first two vcars at
Provincetown, Teresa played only child roles
because she was physically the smallest mem-
ber of the company. But her performances
were so outstanding that Doro Merande, the
famed theatrical star, decided her talents were
too good to waste on minor portrayals. -

Miss Merande's recommendation was re-
sponsible for Teresa being chosen to under-
study Star Dorothy MvGuirc in the Broadway
production of "Our Town,", and later, after
the play had been bought by Molly wood,
'I ercsa was named to play the leading role
in a road company touring the main cities of

New England.

After the road tour, of "Our Town" was

finished, ^Teresa returned to New York to enter
into competition with just about every other
ingenue actress along the Great White Way

-for the coveted role of Mary in "Life .With
Father." The first time that Teresa rend the
part for Author Howard Lindsay in his home,
he was tremendously impressed, but was a
little doubtful as to the wisdom of casting an
unknown in such an important role on Broad-
way. However, after testing dozens of other
actresses, he kept coming back to Teresa for
more and more re-readings, and finally, alter
the fifth of these run-throughs, Lindsay, his
collaborator, Russell Crolise, and Producer
Oscar Serlin decided that Teresa was the only
one who could do justice to the role of Mary.
That same fall. • Samuel Goldwyn came to-
New York to take another. look at "The Little
P"oxes." Lillian Hellman's masterpiece, which
he was preparing to bring to the screen. While
in Nrw York, Goldwyn caught a performance
of "Life With Father," and immediately
st-ormed backstage to sign Teresa for the im-
portant role of Alexandra in the screen version
of "The Little Foxes."'

Teresa's tremendous success in her screen
debut in "The Little Foxes" attracted an enor-
mous fan following "and thousands of enthu-
siastic letters poured into the studio. Holly-
wood's attention was also riveted on her per-

■ formanec, and following release of the film
she was nominated for an Academy Award,
marking the first time in film history that any
player had ever received this honor in a first *

picture. ' %

• Some few critics, while agreeing on the
merits of Teresa's performance, tended to be
a bit cautious in their prophecies. They said
it might have been just a flash-in-the-pan, and
declared that they would wait until her second
film before going overboard with praise., But
alter her second film, even the doubters joined
the ranks of. the cheering squad. Because
Teresa's portrayal of the juvenile romantic
r.olejn "Mrs. Miniver" won her the Academy
Award for the year!

i ■-*

Then came Teresa's third film assignment,
the role for which just about every young star
in Hollywood had been angling. Tt was the
part of Mrs. Lou Gehrig in "Pride of the
Yankees/' in which she was co-starred with
Gary Cooper. Keeping up the same whirlwind
pace which she had hit ever since arriving in
Hollywood, Teresa did such an outstanding
job in this film that she won her third' suc-
cessive nomination for the Academy Award
in this, only her third. film!

Since that time Teresa has been seen in
many different types of filtns, covering the
entire range of performances from the' most
dramatic to gay, sparkling comedies. Fans
loved her in all of them, revelling in each new
demonstration of Her amazing versatility and
truly rreat talents. Movie-goers everywhere
will recall ( her triumphs in "Shadow of a
Doubt;' "Casanova Brown." "The Trouble
With Women," '"Pursued. " "Imperfect Lady/'
"The Best Years of Our Lives," "Enchant-
ment," 'The Men/ 1 and "The Capture," which
last film, by the way, was produced by her
husband, Niven Busch, the well-known novel-
ist whom -Teresa met while lie was working
as Samuel Goldwyn's story editor..

Just to make sure that she has not lost the
Academy Award touch which characterized
her entrance into movies, Teresa's latest screen
venture is Paramount's "Mr. and Miss Anony-
mous," {tentative title), the story of a married
advertising executive, a former alcoholic, who
falls in love with an actress who is a confirmed

*

alcoholic. In this George Stevens production,
Teresa will be co-starred with two other Acad-
emy Award winners of the past — Ray ("The
Lost ,Weekend") Milland and Joan ("Sus-
picion") Fontaine. Advance reports on the him

which have leaked out of the very hush-hush
projection rooms in Hollywood, say that
Teresa's performance in her role- of Milland's
Wife is her most convincing portrayal to dale,
and is an odds-on favorite to bring li£r another
Academy Award nomination.

Teresa's romance with her famed husband,
who among other outstanding works authored
"Duel In the Sun/' is as thrilling as any screen
love story. While Busch was Goldwyn's story
e&top, part ©f his duties consisted of viewing

the daily "rushes' 1 on "The. Little Foxes."
Every day for months he sat in the projection
room and watched Teresa on the screen, and
when he realized that he was head over heels
in love with the girl whom he knew only as a
figure on film, he saw to it that an introduc-
tion "in the flesh" was arranged. For six
months Busch wooed the actress, until she
said: "I do/ 1 They were married in ?* simple
ceremony on May 23, 1942.

Today" Teresa and Niven Busch live hap-
pily on a small, three-and-a-half-acre hillside
ranch in the San Fernando Valley, where they
farm intensively and hope 'some day to be able
to produce enough fruit and vegetables to take
care of their own needs and those of their
friends. Although both Teresa and her hus-
band are essentially shy, quiet people, their
house is. a constant bedlam of noise and healthy
yells, coming from their two children, Niven
Terrence (born, in 1944), Mary Kelly (born
in 1947); Busch's two sons by a former mar-
riage, Peter (born in 1933) and Tony (born
in 1937) ; plus three large and noisy dogs,
three horses and an assortment of cats of every
known size, breed and color. But Teresa and
her husband don't seem to mind the noise.
To tkem, it is a healthy manifestation of a
normal American household which is function-
ing just as it should. Busch, a writer trained
in summing up situations in a simple phrase,
condenses his family's attitude of mutual co-
operation in this revealing sentence : "Our
philosophy of life is very simple; Teresa
washes and I dry."

On the personal side, Teresa Wright stands
five feet, two inches in height and \veighs 105
pounds. Her eyes are greenish blue and her
hair is dark brown. Her friends — who are
legion — are proud of the fact that she is one
of the very few Hollywood personalities listed

in "Who's Who In America/' having made
thai volume on the strength of her outstanding
success both on the stage and screen. Her
husband is also lifted in "Who's Who" in his
own right as an author. But nobody would
deny the fact that they also, both know exactly
"What's What" in motion picture entertain-
ment 1 ' ' •
